M.S. Ashdod FC has responded to accusations made by Bnei Yehuda FC regarding the officiating in their recent cup match. Bnei Yehuda had previously criticized referee Aviad Shiloh, even suggesting a lie detector test, after their 3-4 loss which eliminated them from the cup.
Ashdod stated they were "astonished" by Bnei Yehuda's claims, asserting that the better team won fairly. Ashdod countered by highlighting what they described as "ugly tackles" by Bnei Yehuda players, questioning why yellow and red cards were not issued. The club suggested Bnei Yehuda's complaints stem from disappointment over their elimination and an attempt to pressure referees ahead of their league game.
Ashdod also reminded Bnei Yehuda of a previous Toto Cup semi-final where the Referees Association acknowledged Ashdod had been wronged twice, citing two "bizarre" red cards issued to their players in the first half. Ashdod confirmed they have submitted all relevant materials to the Referees Association concerning the recent cup match incidents.
